That's Not Cadence, That's More of the Same
Joe Biden’s speech featured a call-and-response refrain, “That’s not change, that’s more of the same!” However, he kept saying the second part at different speeds, so the audience had no chance to say it along with him, as appeared to be the plan. When people weren’t catching up, he started saying the first part slowly, and pausing, but then rushing through the second part. “That’s…not change…thatsmoreofthesame.” I felt bad for the old delegates from Delaware in the front row desperately trying to keep up.
Also, much like NBC spoiled plenty of Olympics results, MSNBC spoiled the surprise Obama appearance with a chyron warning about it ten minutes early.

My Interview With Gallagher, Part One
Part One of my long-awaited interview with comedy legend Gallagher. Here’s an excerpt:
Have you seen Carrot Top recently?
Yes. I don’t know what’s going on there.
It seems like he’s trying to rip off your muscle jacket, but with his actual body instead of a prop.
I agree. You know, he was hiding his homosexuality all these years, and I think that he’s just coming out of his shell. I guess it’s exhibited by his interest in his own body.

Nato Green Plays the Race Card on the Huffington Post
Selected excerpts:
Second, how does one play the race card from the bottom of the deck? If you’re going to sling metaphors, please try a little to be coherent. Is Mr. Davis suggesting that the bottom of the deck is dirtier because it touched the martini-soaked cocktail napkin of class warfare?
And:
America elected a President who was a b-list actor and c-list politician in 1980, so today the political career of Fred Thompson doesn’t appear as freakish as it really is. Yet Dennis Kucinich is unelectable, because as a nation we have an issue with hobbits. We’re not even close to shattering that glass ceiling or fjord or whatever.
Also:
Take the polls about white voters who won’t vote for Obama because he’s black. Not only do they hold such notions in their feeble minds, some of these voters will actually say so out loud. On the phone. To a total stranger.
And finally:
Is the only suit in the deck of race cards spades?

Excerpts From the Spanish Diary - by Woody Allen
“APRIL 2
Offered role to Scarlett Johansson. Said before she could accept, script must be approved by her agent, then by her mother, with whom she’s close. Following that it must be approved by her agent’s mother. In middle of negotiation she changed agents — then changed mothers. She’s gifted but can be a handful.”
